Last year during the holiday season I came across the sweet potato casserole which I really enjoyed. A sweet potato casserole is essentially mashed sweet potatoes baked with a pecan and brown sugar streusel topping. I find that pumpkin and sweet potatoes can often be interchanged in recipes and since I enjoy both I was thinking that a pumpkin casserole would also be great. Normally the sweet potato is sweetened with sugar but I decided to use maple syrup to add a bit of extra flavour. This casserole is pretty easy to make, you pretty much just mix the wet ingredients and place them in your casserole dish and sprinkle on the streusel topping and bake. The pumpkin casserole turned out to be just as good as the sweet potato casserole, which is to say that it was great! It was nice and warm and creamy and sweet and the pumpkin flavour worked perfectly. I am certainly looking forward to making this again.

One of my favorite things about the holidays is sweet potato/squashy/pumpkin dishes! This looks divine. I have a recipe that I love like this, but it has wayyy too much sugar, I love that this one uses maple syrup instead. Printing....

I forgot you live in Canada--Happy Thanksgiving Kevin!As always your meals are perfect. I would love to sit down to dinner with you with all those glorious fixings. Your friends and family are lucky to have you cook for them.

I wouldn't have thought to make a pumpkin casserole like this - it sounds delicious!! I love that I get to see all of the Canadian Thanksgiving meals to help me prepare for our US Thanksgiving next month!

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
